Students who receive and accept AP credit (CHEM 19) for chemistry must take a second course, typically CHEM 22L or CHEM 23L, and, if planning to attend medical school, the two courses CHEM 151L and CHEM 152L, these latter usually in sophomore or junior year. • WRITING 20: University Writing Program, required in the first year. • • • • • • • • • • • SS-H (Social Sciences and Humanities): Five SS-H semester-course electives, appropriately distributed, are required. The illustrated sample program assumes that one of the required SS-H courses is covered by an AP credit. PHYSICS 61L & 62L: Matriculating students who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L (but not 62L) take PHYSICS 62L; those who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L and 62L take PHYSICS 63L; and international students who have IPCs for GCE A-level physics take PHYSICS 63L or 143. BIOLOGY 25L: Students may not substitute BIOLOGY 147 for BIOLOGY 25L in this dual major. ECE 54L: Students who successfully completed BME 171 in Spring 2006 or earlier need not take ECE 54L. ME 83L: If ME 83L is elected, EGR 75 or BME 110 should be taken first (prerequisite). Life Science Elective: Semester course selected from approved list of Life Science Electives in the current edition of BME Undergraduate Program Handbook. Pre-Med Students: Students planning to attend medical school should consult with the Duke Office of Health Professions Advising about course planning. Premeds will need to take CHEM 151 and 152, normally during sophomore or junior year. Fitting these courses into the schedule may require an overload or summer school. ECE Concentration Electives: Two courses from the same Concentration Area from the set of approved concentration courses for the ECE program. (The three required courses BME 100L, 100L and 154L together are considered to be two ECE Concentration Electives in a special biomedical ECE Concentration and a special ECE Elective course, a fact already reflected in the sample program. The total program meets all ECE Program Requirements.) ECE Elective: Any ECE course at the 100 level or above except ECE 148L, which latter course may be taken as a general Elective. BME Elective: At least one BME Elective must be at the 200 level. The program must also include at least one of the BME-ECE Design Electives BME 236, 261, or 264L, here shown in either the Fall or Spring semester. Independent Study: Accepted for up to two of the Elective ECE Courses and for any of the Free Electives, but not for any other required course in the ECE Program. Independent Study and Undergraduate Research are encouraged for qualified students, and required for Graduation with Departmental Distinction, but may require overload or summer study to fit into the above dual-major program.

ECON Elective (see NOTES) NOTES: • Departmental Requirements for an Economics Major (BS level): Ten courses in Economics, which must include the core courses ECON 51D, 55D, 105D, 110D and 139D. The remaining courses must be at the 100-level or above, excluding ECON 151, 182, 183 and 888. These requirements are reflected in the above sample program. It is suggested that students wishing to pursue a second major in Economics discuss their specific program with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) in Economics and with their ECE faculty adviser. • This sample program does not include any Free Electives (any Duke course counting toward the BSE degree beyond those courses required for the dual major). Free electives and increased flexibility for Study Abroad, for example, could result from additional AP credit in mathematics (for MATH 32, Calculus II), from AP credit for the SS-H course shown (see the SS-H Note below), from additional program overload (5 or more courses in a semester), or from summer courses. Overload is not recommended for the First Year. • SS-H: Social Sciences & Humanities electives: Because at least two of the five ECON courses are in the Social Sciences (SS) area of knowledge, two of the three remaining required SS-H courses must be distributed among at least two of the three knowledge areas Arts, Literatures, and Performance (ALP); Civilizations (CZ); and Foreign Languages (FL). If appropriate for a student's goals, one or two of those three courses could be ECON courses chosen from the set belong to both SS and CZ areas -- for example, ECON 132, 136, 138, 140 & 150 -- and counted as CZ courses. By a combination of ECON courses in the CZ area and two suitable AP SS-H credits only one explicit SS-H course must be taken. This appears in the sample program as SS-H. If there are AP credits in the ALP area, even this SS-H course might not be required, in which case a Free Elective could be elected or the course load in one of the 5-course semesters reduced. It is strongly recommended that students discuss their selection of upper-level ECON courses with the DUS in Economics and the SS-H requirements with their ECE Faculty Adviser or the ECE DUS. • WRITING 20: University Writing Program, required in first year. • CHEM 21L: AP credit CHEM 19 is also acceptable. • PHYSICS 61L & 62L: Matriculating students who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L (but not 62L) take PHYSICS 62L; those who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L and 62L take PHYSICS 63L; and international students who have credit for the equivalent of PHYSICS 51L & 52L take PHYSICS 143L. • STA 113 is recommended but students may substitute MATH 135 or ECE 255. • ECE Concentration Electives: Four courses selected from the set approved for the ECE program. Courses must be selected from at least two areas, and at least two courses must be from the same area. • ECE Elective: Any ECE course at the 100 level or above except ECE 148L, which latter course may be taken as as a general Elective. • ECON Elective: Any ECON course at the 100 level or above, excluding ECON 151, 182, 183, and 888. • Approved Design Elective: Approved Electrical Engineering Design Elective, required in Junior or Senior year. Currently ECE 123, 135, 154, 164, 251 and 261 are approved. The same course may not be used as a Concentration Elective and count as a required Design Elective or ECE Elective • Independent Study: Accepted for up to two of the Elective ECE Courses and for any of the Free Electives, but not for any other required course in the ECE Program.

Free Elective NOTES: • Departmental Requirements for an Economics Minor: Five courses in Economics, which must include ECON 51D, 55D and three courses at the 100level or above, excluding ECON 182 and 183. Students who receive AP credit for ECON 51D must take one additional economics course, excluding ECON 2, 2A, 91 and 92. These requirements are reflected in the above sample program. It is suggested that students wishing to pursue a minor in Economics discuss their specific program with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) in Economics and with their ECE faculty adviser. This sample program shows one Free Elective (any Duke course counting toward the BSE degree). Additional free electives could result from AP credits or program overload (5 or more courses in a semester). Overload is not recommended for the First Year. SS-H: Social Sciences & Humanities electives: Because at least two of the five ECON courses are in the Social Sciences (SS) area of knowledge, two of the three remaining required SS-H courses must be distributed among at least two of the three knowledge areas Arts, Literatures, and Performance (ALP); Civilizations (CZ); and Foreign Languages (FL). If appropriate for a student's goals, one or two of those three courses could be ECON courses chosen from the set belong to both SS and CZ areas -- for example, ECON 132, 136, 138, 140 & 150 -- and counted as CZ courses. Up to two of the required SS-H courses could also be met by AP credits. Depending upon ECON course choices and AP credits, students might be able to replace one or all of the three SS-H courses shown in this sample program with Free Electives or to reduce the course load in the 5-course semesters. It is strongly recommended that students discuss their selection of upper-level ECON courses with the DUS in Economics. WRITING 20: University Writing Program, required in first year.

The ECE 191/2 Independent Study at the Marine Lab is an ECE Elective that meets the acceptance criteria.

Free Elective NOTES: • Study-Abroad Program Students interested in studying abroad should explore possibilities at the Duke Study Abroad Office and then discuss their personal interests and options with their Pratt Faculty Advisor and with the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS). • FIRST and SOPHOMORE YEARS: Follow standard Durham sample programs. See NOTES in sample programs for additional guidance. • Full-Year Abroad: A full two-semester Junior Year Abroad is also possible, but is usually only feasible for students entering Duke with multiple Advanced Placement (AP) credits and a demonstrated interest in a specific overseas country and its culture. • Approved ECE Design Elective: This required course must be taken at Duke in Durham; it may not be taken abroad. • Courses taken abroad: Courses shown are their Duke equivalents as certified by the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS). Options vary by university and semester. Many universities abroad have courses equivalent to ECE 53L, ECE 141, ECE 180, and other first courses among the ECE Concentration Electives. The above Sample Program for the Fall Semester Abroad assumes that courses equivalent to ECE 53L and a Concentration Elective exist and that such courses have been elected. If appropriate courses are not available in the relevant semester, students should investigate course alternatives, discuss options with the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) to verify that these are ECEapproved equivalents, and adjust the above program accordingly, usually by substituting the missing ECE-required courses for the Senior-year Electives. It is feasible to take more than one Concentration Elective in a semester. Slightly different assumptions are built into the Sample Program for the Spring Semester Abroad, but similar comments apply mutatis mutandis.
